Scenario-Based Well Control Training

Definition(s)

Scenario-Based Well Control Training

A group or team well control training that blends human factors and technical training through a series of lectures, exercises and well control scenarios that have the team or group interact to resolve well control issues, often achieved through the use of simulators. Feedback is given to each participant to further their human factor development and technical aspects of well control performance. Scenario-based well control training includes:
  1. Team or group-learning environment
  2. Human factors and technical skill training and coaching
  3. Well control scenarios that involve all participants, whether desktop or simulator-driven.
